"If we can successfully break into Shrek City, we should be able to replenish some supplies. After all, it is humanity's most prosperous city, without question."
"But at the moment, if we truly want to gather enough food reserves, there is only one way: drive more ten-year and hundred-year Soul Beasts ahead as vanguards. While attacking Shrek City, we can use them as stored rations."

Human armies spoke of armies a hundred thousand strong, but in many cases, ninety thousand of those troops were logistics personnel hauling supplies, leaving only ten thousand actual combat soldiers.
Yet it was precisely because of those ninety thousand support troops that the ten thousand soldiers at the front could unleash their greatest combat power.
A Beast Tide was somewhat similar. A million-beast tide might descend upon the enemy, but the overwhelming majority were actually cannon fodder and walking food reserves.
